2018 ZINFANDEL
"SWEETWATER" RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY
Our vineyard sits on top of a very steep hill and looks cartoonish - like the drawing from a Dr. Seuss story! It's up above the fog line and gets delicious-warm-loving sun during the final stretch of the growing season in August. These grapes are usually the first Red Grape to come into the winery and are usually very, VERY SWEET - 27.0 Brix - it makes gorgeous wine!! Our 2018 Zinfandel has bright cranberry, lifesaver candy, ripe black cherry, and is a delightful mouthful of candied fruit! These luscious fruit flavors combine with rich chocolate, vanilla-mocha, Asian spice, and white pepper to end on a lusciously smooth finish. You will love this wine. It's been aging 1 year in barrel, showing its true LOVE. Our Zinfandels are bright and candied with soft tannins - very different from their robust Dry Creek Cousins. Russian River Zinfandel takes about 2 years to really shine, but once it does - it easily overtakes all other Sonoma County AVA's. Give it a try - this is wonderful! ~ Nancy
